I believe the use of the IN needs to be enclosed in (). Im not using a full keyboard so typing is a challenge

I think it's already done by the multiselect. Already. my vyourvar = PK1, PK2, PK3, PK4 . Wouldn't the 2nd statement work too, since I don't have commas in my primary keys. Or maybe I'm not understanding what the first statement is for.

I'm using 7.6. So I put a Variable Lookup ListView Box on my form, and selected the option for Multicolumn select. When I show variables, Rbase has put the keys to all the selected records into my one variable, separated by commas, just like I had hoped. But now I don't know how to use them. I'd maybe like to dump them in a temporary table, but I don't know what kind of syntax to use to get at all these different values for my variable. Any help? Thanks, Patti Jakusz
